This is a continuation of this question where I asked how to center a number (i.e. text return) from the Google Visualization API. The new issue I am having is that I want to show progress bars for a specific piece of data, and I would like to center them. I am using the Bar Format. However, my CSS does not seem to work. I know that I should be able to apply CSS to a specific tag within a named element (or I believe I can).
Here is picture of the current site:
I believe if I can remove float: left; as inherited from the google process and add margin: 0 auto; this will all work. Here is a JSFiddle of my work so far.
Yes, removing the float:left; works well.
With reference to your question How do I center numbers in a table from Google Visualization API?, the solution is simple as stated in one of its anwser.
You need to overwrite the css inherited by the API for the span tag inside the td.
span{
float:none !important;
}
Here's the fiddle for it: http://jsfiddle.net/a8e3re72/5/

I have a list of items display as a list with the css attribute list-style-type: disc;.
Just below the list, I have a last item which is add separatly but I wan't it to be displayed just as if it would be part of the list.
So I am looking for a way a display this disc bullet via CSS with something like the background attribute for instance.
I kow I could add an image but I am trying to find another way to add the bullet just to be sure that all my bullet look alike.
You can see what I mean here
Any idea?
P.S: I have no way of adding this last item to the list so I have to find a workaround to display this bullet only via CSS.
Try to create a css style for separate in wich you can writte this :
separate { padding-left:30px; height:20px; background-image:url(yourpath/smal-image-circle.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:top left;}
Note that the image in background in your div should have a small size

So I have a simple page:
www.kensandbox.info/centerthis
This is a simple html/css page and I'm trying to add a paypal button.
The problem is that I can't figure out how to center the button? I've tried adding the following:
<div align="center"> form code here </div>
No dice. I've even tried adding the center tag before the form.
The site code (simple html and css file) can be downloaded here:
www.kensandbox.info/centerthis/centerthis.zip
My guess is that one of the other CSS elements is overriding my change.
What am I missing?
Thanks
there is a float:left in form input, form .btn inside mycss.css
Add float:none to that input if you want to override.
Without looking at your code I would say the best way to center a div is usually make sure it's displayed as a block element (should be by default) and that its width is specified; then finally apply margin: auto.
e.g.
<div class="container">
...
<div class="centered-element"> form code here </div>
...
</div>
where
container {
width: 200px;
}
centered-element {
width: 150px;
margin: auto;
display: block; /* to make sure it isn't being mucked up by your other css */
float: none; /* to make sure it isn't being mucked up by your other css */
}
Edit:
I say to do it this way because, like I now see someone has commented, <div align="center"> is deprecated and so is the <center> tag. To expand, this is because your HTML should only be used to create the structure and semantics of your web page, and CSS should be used for the presentational aspects of it. Keeping the two separate as best as you can will save you a lot of time in the long run.
Also it's best to design your CSS in a way where you shouldn't have to set display: block; on a div (because a div is already a block element) and your shouldn't have to unset a float by using float: none;. For more on a good way to do that, improve your workflow, save yourself some time, and generally be awesome, check into object-oriented CSS a.k.a. ooCSS
I found the answer and I want to thank the two individuals who took the time to answer.
The thing I didn't understand is how to look at a web page and see what CSS code was driving the formatting.
Some research lead me to a Chrome plug in named CSSViewer. Using this plugin and the information from the answer I was able to identify a float left css element that I simply had to change to a float center.
Thanks again for the help.
So I've setup Compass for creating automatic sprites with SCSS. All goes well, it generates some nice CSS for me :-
.icons-sprite, .actions-new, .actions-edit, .actions-save, .actions-delete, .actions-refresh {
background: url('/content/themes/admin/images/icons-s0336d5eb89.png') no-repeat;
}
.actions-new {
background-position: 0 -48px;
}
... ... ...
Now I am creating a table, and in that table there is a "Action column" where you can perform functions on rows (delete or edit).
What is the generally accepted way (in html 5) for showing these buttons using sprites?
I've explored a few options and ran into a few problems
span I can't get this to show unless I place it in display: block mode and if I do that it inserts new lines after the item, and I don't want to have to float everything
div for some reason this one doesn't even show
img The biggest issue I am seeing with this one is the requirement for a src field, this means that I need to duplictate the url over and over again.
What do other people use for sprites inside links?
Use span and display: inline-block. This will make the span behave like an image, so you can apply vertical-align: middle. Support goes all the way back to IE6 if you use it on an inline element.
I recently had an idea for using the CSS pseudo-class :hover to display a styled tooltip when the mouse is hovered over a link.
The basic code for the link looks like this:
.hasTooltip {
position:relative;
}
.hasTooltip span {
display:none;
}
.hasTooltip:hover span {
display:block;
background-color:black;
border-radius:5px;
color:white;
box-shadow:1px 1px 3px gray;
position:absolute;
padding:5px;
top:1.3em;
left:0px;
max-width:200px; /* I don't want the width to be too large... */
}
This link has a tooltip!<span>This is the tooltip text!</span>
The result is exactly what I want, but with one annoying problem: the span does not expand to accommodate text, and if I don't specify a width, the text is squashed.
I did some searching on Google, found a couple examples of work people had done (this example is creepily similar to what I've gotten), but no one seems to have addressed the span width problem I'm having.
I know this answer is extremely late, but it appears the key to your issue would be to use:
white-space: nowrap;
inside of your span, and get rid of any sort of width definition. Of course the drawback to this will be that the tooltip will only be able to support a single line. If you want a multiline solution you will most likely have to use javascript.
Here is an example of of this method:
http://jsbin.com/oxamez/1/edit
An added bonus is that this works all the way down to IE7. If you do not need to support IE7, I would suggest folding the span, and img styles into a :before, and :after for the .tooltip. Then you can populate the text using the data-* attribute.
I don't think there's a perfect solution to this problem with pure CSS. The first problem is that when you place the span inside the a tag the span only wants to expand as far as the width of the link. If you place the span after the the a it's possible to get close to what you're trying to do but you'll have to set the margin-top: 1.3em and then have to set a negative margin to slide the tooltip left. However, it's going to be a fixed setting so it won't sit exactly at the start of each link.
I whipped up a jQuery solution that sets left dynamically (and a nice little fade effect for good measure).
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/wdm954/9jaZL/7/
$('.hasTooltip').hover(function() {
var offset = $(this).offset();
$(this).next('span').fadeIn(200).addClass('showTooltip');
$(this).next('span').css('left', offset.left + 'px');
}, function() {
$(this).next('span').fadeOut(200);
});
These tool tips can also be integrated into a word press theme easily. Just copy the CSS into your style. Css file and when creating your posts, just take help of the HTML code and create your own tool tips. Rest is all styling, which can be altered according to your own choice. You may also use images inside the tool tip boxes.

Even though this question is a bit older already, I would suggest the following compromise:
Just use max-width: 200px; and min-width: 300%; or so,
whereas the min-width could result higher than the max-width.
Just figure it out.
This way you could not have entirely liquid tooltips but the width would stand in kind of a correlation with the width of the containing link element.
In terms of optical pleasantness this approach could be of value.
edit:
Well I must admit it is nonsense what I wrote. When the min-width can be higher than the max-width, there is no sense to it.
So just putting the min-width in percent would achieve what I tried to suggest.
Sorry for that.
I found this and it was working for me. It's a good solution when you have a lot of elements and jquery plugins on the same page and you can't work with
Text <span>Tooltip</span>

I've got an embedded widget from The Weather Channel and everything is working fine except that they've got a <tr> with a 1px height image that is expanding to a height equal to the other rows.
It's shifting the rest of the content down. Because it's just an embed, there is only so much of the styling I can control. But I figured it must be inheriting something from my stylesheet since it had inherited some line-height that I had to correct.
If you visit http://www.scwd.com and scroll to the bottom you'll see the weather widget. The row with the grey td below #weather.com is the issue. It should only be 1px in height. I've used multiple debuggers to see if I could find the inherit and I cannot. Any help would be great.
-- UPDATE --
Not the most elegant solution considering variable within the widget and out of my control may change in the future. But as David suggested, I solved it with the following.
<script type="text/javascript">
var x = $("img[src$='blank.gif']");
$(x).closest('tr').css('display', 'none');
</script>
Best I can find is:
Inherited from div#wx_module_6107.wow_container
.wow_container {
line-height: 14px;
}
Are you hosting this or pulling the HTML from a foreign source? I suspect you can't control the HTML that's being rendered or the CSS that it's using?
I'm no CSS expert, so thus far nothing I've tried in FireBug have made a difference without affecting the rest of the table elements in the widget.
Unless someone can give a CSS solution, maybe some JavaScript can get the job done? You should be able to, on document ready, find that img element (maybe by its src?) and from there (using something like .closest() in jQuery) find its parent td and parent tr and with those element references explicitly set their styles.
The image is in a td which has a line height of 14 according to your css:
.wow_container { line-height: 14px; }
I would give it a line-height of 1px and set the background-color to transparent. That makes things look nice for me. Is this widget coming from a wordpress plugin? If so which plugin? You may be able to edit the plugin code yourself.
I think the problem occurs because the font-size of the body. My suggestion is to add font:1px Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif for the td that is the grey row.
